Greg Rössel's directions for making half-hull models are clear and complete. Yet this how-to book is also an entertaining read.... Everyone can learn something from this good book.
---Mike O'Brien, author of Good Sailboat Designs and WoodenBoat magazine designs editor

I know of no better way of achieving fluency and familiarity with hull forms ... than by working back and forth between two dimensions and three using scale models. In this valuable book Greg Rössel takes us through the process in both directions.
--Paul Gartside, designer and author of Plans & Dreams Volume 1 and Volume 2

Half Hull Modeling Made Understandable

Great book that’s given me all the learning tools and techniques to build wooden boat half hull models. The video series of Mastering Skills - Woodenboat, has been a plus in this area too and very glad to now, as a recent retiree, to have this as a hobby.

Exciting. From the plans I have all the lift wood cut. It's great to see the shape materialize. Just imagine building the real boat. We'll see. You never know. Russ

Have not completely read but looks great. Seems like without a lot of extra details it provides a step by step guide from layout thru finish.
